Ashley Surin, 11, of Illinois was a part of a historic turning point in the controversy regarding use of cannabis in school in the same way as prescription drugs, such as Ritalin or Adderall. After being told by school officials that the cannabis extracts that kept her seizures at bay would be prohibited on school grounds, Surin’s family immediately took to suit.

Colorado Publishes Cannabis Sales Data Publicly

Nearly four years after cannabis is legalized recreationally in Colorado, sales data for the states booming marijuana industry is being released to the public. Previously the state had only released monthly tax revenue reports, simply hinting at the quantity of sales these companies were pushing. The record of sales had been roughly estimated by experts and economists alike for years but now the numbers are transparent, making it more apparent what a profitable industry cannabis can be!

“Colorado native Alexis Bortell has filed a lawsuit claiming that the federal prohibition on marijuana is unconstitutional.

Bortell uses a strain of cannabis oil called Haleigh’s Hope to help with her seizures, and hopes that the lawsuit will help normalize and further legalize marijuana, she told Fox 31 Denver.”

Newsweek reported on this recently – but she’s not the only one suing! 6 year old Jagger Cotte, former NFL player Marvin Washington, and Iraq war veteran Jose Belen are also suing the federal government. The government’s attitude towards cannabis must change if we want to save children like Alexis. Because of government regulations even the study of cannabis is very limited, leaving miraculous compounds like CBD unavailable to the public.
